Blake Lively is seeking millions of dollars in damages and attorneys’ fees from her “It Ends With Us” director and co-star Justin Baldoni, over his since-dismissed “baseless” $400 million defamation lawsuit.

The “Gossip Girl” alum claimed in late 2024 that Baldoni sexually harassed her on the set of their film and launched a retaliatory smear campaign, both of which he denies.

On Monday, Lively filed a motion seeking attorneys’ fees, treble damages and punitive damages from Baldoni under a California statute that makes privileged any “communication … regarding an incident of sexual assault, harassment or discrimination [including retaliation],” and “remedy the substantial harm” incurred amid the legal battle, according to court documents obtained by Variety.
